*** GetAllClients()  (ao: Clients)
24
    Returns an array of all client D-Bus object paths
25

*** ClientNotFound(s: Fingerprint, s: Address)
37
    A client connected from Address using Fingerprint, but was
38
    rejected because it was not found in the server.  The fingerprint

   | Host                 | s    | Read/Write | host                |
91
   | Interval (a)         | t    | Read/Write | interval            |

   a) Represented as milliseconds.
100
   
101
   b) An approval is currently pending.
102
   
103
   c) Setting this property is equivalent to calling StartChecker() or
104
      StopChecker().
105
   
106
   d) The creation time of this client object, as a RFC 3339 string.
107
   
108
   e) Setting this property is equivalent to calling Enable() or

      Disable().
110
   
111
   f) The last time a checker was successful, as a RFC 3339 string, or
112
      an empty string if this has not happened.  Setting this property
113
      is equivalent to calling CheckedOK(), i.e. the current time is
114
      set, regardless of the string sent.  Please always use an empty
115
      string when setting this property, to allow for possible future
116
      expansion.
117
   
118
   g) The last time this client was enabled, as a RFC 3339 string, or
119
